🏰 The 2023 Coquard Loison Fleurot Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is a very young vintage, still showing the promise of its prestigious Grand Cru lineage. While a firm reduction might initially obscure the nose, early evaluations suggest a wine with good punch and precision, offering refined, medium-bodied flavors that lead to a moderately austere, balanced, and persistent finish with fine complexity. Expect a luxurious Burgundy Pinot Noir with notes of black cherry, floral spice, and a silky texture. The wine displays a beautiful dark ruby color, and the nose hints at a rich aromatic palette of red berries, spices, and flowers. It has an intense and expansive bouquet of black berries, with a fine, full texture and unctuous tannins. Hints of oak, chocolate, coffee, licorice, eucalyptus, and violet may also emerge. This wine is built for the long haul, with an exceptional aging potential of 20 to 25 years. 【Exceptional ageing potential and prestigious Grand Cru status】. 🍴 For food pairings, this Grand Cru red Burgundy demands elaborate and strongly flavored dishes.
